Plots in the media about church raiding of the UOC called elements of "hybrid war"

Metropolitan of Pereyaslav-Khmelnitsky and Vishnevsk Alexander (Drabinko wrote on his Facebook page about seizures of the UOC temples thinking they are elements of the hybrid war against Ukraine.

"I say stop," Metropolitan Alexander quotes his response to the journalist who asked him to tell about the seizure of churches in Ukraine. “Did you make the right address? You read my biography: I am a citizen of the state against whom a hybrid war is being fought also with the help of such reports, while in this state there is no registered organization that you named – the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate, but there is the Ukrainian Orthodox Church – the Church of the Ukrainian people. I expressed all that I thought about it. Their leadership will be hardly pleased with my commentary."

In recent years, the schismatics have seized more than 40 temples of the UOC. The VR is considering draft laws that are clearly discriminatory, being specifically directed against the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.
